Exhibit: In Her Own Right:
Marion Mahony Griffin - Charles
H. MacNider Art Museum(Kinney-Lindstrom Gallery), 303 2nd St. SE
(641-421-3666). Marion Mahony Griffin
(1871-1961) was one of America’s first woman architects, a Chicagoan also known
as a skilled artist, environmentalist, and community activist. A central
contributor to the Prairie School of Architecture, her drawings of the Unity
Temple and many other projects introduced Frank Lloyd Wright’s early work to
the world. Mahony Griffin was the first registered woman architect in Illinois
who became a pioneer in architecture and community planning. A key member of
Wright’s Oak Park Studio for 15 years, she and husband Walter Burley Griffin
won the international design competition for Canberra, Australia’s national
capital. This exhibition traces her early life, her personal and professional
partnership with Griffin on three continents, the final years of her life in
Chicago—and sheds light on the work and legacy of a Chicagoan of immense but
often overlooked importance. Exhibit will be on display until August 16, 2017. https://macniderart.org/
